Animals make the best subject matter for me because they are not self-conscious – there is no artifice in any animal expression. I’m always looking to capture even a glimpse into their range of emotions & expressions. Utterly uninhibited animals just do their thing & provide me the perfect material to do mine! Charcoal lends itself to animal art as it brings an expressive warmth to each piece. There is an infinite amount of animals to draw, each lending a unique perspective on life. I draw my animals, your animals and those I encounter in daily life.
